Happy Birthday America!

I wanted to do a little more 4th of July decorating than I normally do. I didn't want to go out and buy things though. I always love the look of a banner or pennant. This paper banner was quick, easy and I used paper I had. I put some flags I had into the wooden crate and hung the stars and stripes decoration on my old window. 4th of July mantle.

About a year ago I had my girls go get a pallet in my neighborhood. They had quite a hard time of it because there was stuff piled on top of it. I didn't know what I wanted to do with it at the time, so it just sat out by the wood pile. Patiently waiting. And then pinterest came to the rescue.

As soon as I saw a pallet flag, I knew that's what my pallet would become. A couple of dollars in craft paint and about thirty minutes later.

I really love it. It brings my patio to patriotic life. And if I get tired of the flag, I can always turn it over and plant a garden in it! Thank goodness for Pallets and Pinterest.
